The director of independence has given us again the same thrilling, exciting, nerve chilling experience in his latest film ’’The day after tomorrow’’. The same old formulae of hollowood films, earth is in danger and mission is to save earth. But with freshness, newness and creating more horror than horror films. And this time the tone is submissive.
They don’t boost that they will save the earth instead They accept that we (mankind) has done extensive, irreversible damage to nature and we can’t fight it or repair it back. Its too late. Moreover US which boosts of every kind of power on earth is shown to take refuge in other countries. So in this way with old formulae, the angle of view is different.
Film grips you for every moment. As the water floodes countries, you will feel yourselves choked and will try to escape. As the water freezes to ice, the blood in your viens will freeze. That is the effect of excellent cinematography and computer graphics. Film is also good on direction and acting performances. And the Thundering sound adds to the horror ( provided sound system of theatre is good; and DONT watch on cd, its effect will decrease to more than 75% ).
Though this is a science fiction film, but the plot is so believable that it feels it is really going to happen. Its based on natural calamity due to huge climatic changes caused by global warming which is a phenomenon we are witnessing and its effects are also coming forth now. In Recent years we have actually witnessed some disturbances in natural cycles of rain and temperature. So it is pretty believable and real.
It will also tickle your funny bone at several places.
India has been chosen as one of places of influence with US and Japan. An international seminar( on weather) happens in Delhi and the first effect of Global warming is shown in Delhi.
Leave aside other things, your money will be paid back by just its grand visuals of the catastrophe.
DO WATCH THE FILM AND ONLY IN A GOOD THEATRE. A good entertainment is ensured.
Aniruddh.
